Al Reynolds, Star Jones' husband, visits a divorce lawyer


It turns out that gig with HGTV may not work out for Star Jones, because they deny having any plans to hire her, and so do Fox News and CNN, two other networks she claimed to be in talks with. Now that Star is talk show poison, her husband, Al Reynolds, seems to have decided there's no reason to continue his sham marriage. He was spotted at the NY office of a high profile divorce attorney:

Last week Al Reynolds visited the offices of the divorce law firm Blank Rome LLP in New York's Chrysler building. MediaTakeOut.com spoke exclusively with a building employee who first noticed Star's soon-to-be-ex. According to the witness, "Al walked up to the security desk and signed in to visit [one of the Blank Rome's divorce lawyers] Stanford Lotwin."

Mr. Lotwin is one of the most prominent divorce attorney's in New York. He worked on the high-profile divorces of Howard Stern, Donald Trump, Geraldo Rivera and Diana Ross.

After remaining upstairs for nearly two hours, Al tried to quietly sneak out of the building. But before he could leave, the witness tells MediaTakeOut.com, "I walked up to him and said 'Al, is that you', and Al ran out of the building - almost knocking over a pregnant woman."

For Star Jones, this news couldn't come at a worse time. Ever since she was fired from the popular morning show The View, the daytime diva has been having trouble finding a new job. According to one insider, Star's publicists have been telling everyone that would listen that she has a job offer from HGTV and that she's interviewing with FOX News and CNN. But all three networks have vehemently denied having any plans that include the former lawyer. In fact, one representative for FOX News told MediaTakeOut.com that the network "has no interest in working with Star."

Once big gay Al divorces her, Star could channel her anger and become a homophobic conservative. That might help her land a gig on FOX. She could spread her unique brand of vile across the airways. Hatred is a smidgeon more believable coming from a minority. That's how Michelle Malkin got famous.

When doing my three minutes worth of research for this post, I came across the website for Star Jones and Al Reynold's wedding, dated Fall, 2004. They commit a couple cardinal sins of web design with a stupid Flash entry page and making people enter their e-mail address to access content (I entered "biggayal@hotmail.com" This worked fine).

Regardless it's clear they protest too much. I couldn't read through all the glurge about their relationship because it kind of made me sick to my stomach. Here are some choice quotes made hysterical by this latest news:

We take marriage very seriously. We believe that marriage should be a blessed state of commitment, fidelity and love through God. Because of our love of Christ and our commitment to follow his teachings, we know that our marriage will have a sturdy foundation built upon the Word of God.

We know that our love will be sustained through faith in the promises of Christ and the prayers and support of friends and family.

God may be powerful and all, but He can't make a gay person straight, no matter how much they hype their wedding with a formerly obese talk show host.

Star Jones' career is totally over


Star Jones just can't stop opening her big mouth. She screwed herself out of a chance to exit The View gracefully by blabbing that she's leaving on air, and then telling People that she was fired. She should have taken producers' advice to "make up a story" about why she's no longer going to annoy the old ladies who watch The View with her shrinking presence. Instead she behaved as arrogantly as she always does and managed to royally piss off Barbara Walters.

Word is that she has almost no chance of getting another job in television now that she's poured gasoline over all her rickety bridges.

Shari Anne Brill, director of programming at Carat USA, said Jones Reynolds' 15 minutes of fame could be over after she unexpectedly announced her departure during a live broadcast.

"If she didn't have something in the works, that would be an extremely bad career move," explained Brill. "You don't diss your boss. That's a serious bridge to burn."

Especially when your boss is TV legend Walters.

One insider said Reynolds Jones is widely regarded as "unemployable" because of her reputation as a diva.

"Are people going to want to buy the trouble?" he said. "I don't think so.

"She has won some of the audience with her wounded doe act, but in a year's time they won't even remember who she is."

Another TV source shared doubts about the 44-year-old's future.

"Star has meetings scheduled on both coasts with possible employers," she said. "The blast of publicity over her firing will produce a lot of offers - or none at all.

"Some TV executives might be concerned that Star is not a team player."

Here's Star on The Today Show. She tries to compare herself to people screwed by big corporations like Enron or Tyco, but she's totally full of shit. She also says she made the announcement she was leaving on Tuesday instead of Thursday because of the "nastiness" in the media.

That's part 1 of 2. The second part is here.

She better get television coverage when she can, because she's talk show poison now.

Star Jones says she was fired from "The View"


In news that's not surprising to anyone, Star Jones Reynolds tells People magazine that her contract was not renewed for her tenth season on the annoying women's talkshow, "The View," and that she she "feels" like she was fired. If they didn't renew your contract, you were fired, Star.

She announced this morning on the show that she will be leaving at the end of the season. Oh boo hoo:

"Something's been on my heart for a little bit, and after much prayer and counsel I feel like this is the right time to tell you that the show is moving in another direction for its tenth season and I will not be returning as cohost next year," she said on the air.

"That's shocking to me," interrupted Joy Behar, prompting Jones Reynolds to link hands with her cohosts.

Thanking the show's creator, Barbara Walters, "for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime," Jones Reynolds concluded by saying, "I'm not sure what the future holds, but I'm absolutely sure who holds the future."

After some discussion, Walters said, "It is a new chapter for Star. It will be a new chapter for The View in the fall."

So why is Jones Reynolds leaving? Contrary to speculation that she's unhappy about the upcoming addition of Rosie O'Donnell – one of her most vocal critics – to the show this fall, she reveals exclusively in this week's PEOPLE magazine that the departure was not her choice.

"What you don't know is that my contract was not renewed for the tenth season," she tells PEOPLE. "I feel like I was fired." She adds that she was told her contract wouldn't be renewed just days before news leaked that O'Donnell would be joining The View.

People promises to have more on the story, including Star dishing on Rosie O'Donnel's "hurtful" comments about her. O'Donnel said it was strange that Star would admit to breast lift surgery, but not own up to gastric bypass surgery that is largely rumored to have been the cause of her massive weight loss. She has also brought attention to the elephant in the room - Jones' husband Al, who always played for the other team before he hooked up with the then-huge talk show host.

Rosie O'Donnel was handpicked by Barbara Walters for a cohost gig in what was interpreted as a bid to force Jones out. Unfortunately, Jones is said to have "signed a lucrative deal with another television outlet." Who would be dumb enough to hire her?

Does anyone watch this piece of crap "The View" anymore? I have seen clips online that are so annoying I can barely sit through a couple of minutes, not to mention a whole hour. I asked my mother if anyone she knew watches it, and she knows of two people. Her 67 year-old friend who holidays in Boca watches it, but she has a high tolerance for talk shows. The other woman is over 80, also lives in Florida, and only has basic cable.

Here's a clip of Sandra Bernhardt and her nastiness vs. Star Jones and her nastiness. That little stupid conservative chick from Survivor tries to get in an ill-informed political argument with Bernhardt, and Star tries to cut to commercial. People said it was a "catfight," but it was more like an annoying argument.

Here's Star Jones and her husband, Al, at The Apollo Theatre 2006 Spring Gala on 6/19.

Star Jones to really get the boot from "The View"


Everyone was speculating that Star Jones wasn't long for The View after straight-talking Rosie O'Donnell was handpicked by Barbara Walters to replace Meredith Vieira. It turns out that people were right, because Page Six is reporting that an insider has confirmed that Star will be exiting the show.

STAR Jones Reynolds has been told to hitch up her hefty wagonload of freebies and waddle off into the sunset, sources say.

ABC will announce this week that the big-boned talking head is out at "The View," a source close to the inner workings of the late-morning gabfest tells Page Six. What network brass won't say is that she's being unceremoniously ousted at the direct behest of the show's grand dame Barbara Walters and the incoming Rosie O'Donnell.

"It was always Rosie's condition of joining the show, and Barbara agreed to those conditions from the outset," our source said. The network and Jones are now concocting a face-saving scenario in which Jones will be touted as moving on to pursue important new projects.

How Jones' star has fallen - just a few weeks ago, she had hoped to succeed Meredith Vieira as the moderator of the crew.

But Walters wasn't going to let that happen because "she hates her. Really can't stand her," a source told us last week. O'Donnell was recruited quickly after Vieira announced she was jumping to "Today."

Oprah's best friend, Gayle King, is said to be considered for Star's soon to be vacant post. We can't wait to see what crappy non-job Star gets next. She'll probably be out of work for a while until she breaks down and becomes the spokesperson for a diet or fitness-related product. She's already shilling payless shoes, and has no scruples about what she'll endorse to get free shit or cash.

Here she is with her husband at the The Playboy Club party on 5/5 hosted by the 2006 Playboy Playmate of The Year. At least she doesn't have to worry about him checking out the bunnies.

Star Jones exposed to HIV (not what you think); Oprah's BFF to replace her


No, not in the obvious way. At least according to this story. The hospital where Star had the gastric bypass surgery that she refuses to admit to had a problem sterilizing its equipment. So this isn't as sensational a story as we were hoping, either, sorry about that:

May 4. Talk show host Star Jones refuses to talk about how she managed to lose more than 100 pounds. But tabloids have reported that Jones achieved her massive weight loss by undergoing gastric bypass surgery at a San Diego hospital.

MediaTakeOut.com has just learned that the hospital where Star is reported to have undergone the surgery is warning its patients that they may have been exposed to HIV. Administrators at Scripps Memorial Hospital in San Diego told patients yesterday that because a nurse failed to properly clean instruments used in stomach-reduction surgery, they may have been exposed to the virus.

According to Don Stanziano, a spokesman for the hospital, "the risk (of HIV exposure) is extremely low but to be safe and take every precaution, we are having blood drawn and tested." Stanziano also told MediaTakeOut.com that state health officials are investigating the nurse's failure to properly sterilize the equipment.

[via]

If all this is true, and not some kind of conspiratorial cover up for the fact that Star's husband infected her (we did not come up with this, the bulletin board where we found the news mentioned it first), then hopefully nothing happened to her, and she'll be able to get on with her career of becoming the spokesperson for hemorrhoid cream after she gets booted off The View.

Oprah's best friend, Gayle King, is said to be in the running for Star's place on The View. Star is not considered long for the show now that Rosie is taking Meredith Vieira's seat. Star's contract is up in September:

Here we go: the biggest rumor of the week has Gayle King, Oprah Winfrey’s best friend, confidante and employee taking a seat behind the desk at "The View."

King would be the perfect replacement for Meredith Vieira and Star Jones, that is if the latter decides to move on—or is pushed. King is a journalist and African American; she meets the criteria I suggested was needed here a few days ago.

Now, insiders say it’s not happening but other sources tell me oh yes it is. King did not return a call yesterday. But those close to new addition Rosie O’Donnell say she’s not only crazy about the idea, but would let King moderate the show if she wanted to.

Nearly anyone would make a better cohost then Star.

Daytime Emmy awards picture post


We know you were anxiously waiting for these pictures of your favorite soap stars and talkshow hosts at the Daytime Emmy awards last Friday. Highlights include Star Jones showing off her new boobs, Martha Stewart looking smug and polished, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia DeRossi cute 'n cuddly, Cady McClain of All My Children in a too-short babydoll dress, and Sean Young a typical mess.

Ellen DeGeneres remains everyone's favorite talk show host and took home the award in that category for a second year in a row. Guilding Light also won big:

CBS' "Guiding Light" led the 33rd annual Daytime Emmys with four awards, but ABC's "General Hospital" won for best drama series during Friday's ceremony in Hollywood, the first time the event has taken place outside of New York.

"Guiding Light" nearly swept the other acting categories. Kim Zimmer, who plays Reva Lewis, won her fourth Daytime Emmy for lead actress, and three other cast members won their first Daytime Emmy: Jordan Clarke, who plays Billy Lewis, won for supporting actor; Gina Tognoni, who portrays Dinah Marler, won supporting actress; and Tom Pelphrey, who plays Jonathan Randall, won in the younger actor category.

Jennifer Landon, who portrays Gwen Norbeck on CBS' "As the World Turns," won her first Daytime Emmy, in the younger actress category. Onstage, the actress thanked her family, including her father, the late Michael Landon.

Here are pictures of the arrivals including:
Susan Lucci, Sean Young, Portia de Rossi, Ellen DeGeneres, Al Reynolds, Star Jones Reynolds, Ashley Jones, Barbara Walters, Bobbie Eakes, Corbin Bernsen, Amanda Pays, Lisa Rinna, Martha Stewart, Maria Conchita Alonso, Melody Thomas Scott, Tracey Bregman, Lorenzo Lamas, Hunter Tylo, Kristian Alfonso, Alec Musser, Antonio Sabato Jr., Anya Monzikova, Bobbie Eakes, Bree Williamson, Cady McClain, Crystal Chappell, Carroll Spinney with Oscar The Grouch, Davetta Sherwood, Bryton McClure, Michelle Ray Smith, Michael Graziadei, Rachael Ray, Schae Harrison, Seven and McKenzie Westmore, and Sherri Saum.

Kimora and Russell keep up the facade; Star Jones touches herself


Kimora Lee and Russell Simmons attended a benefit together despite the fact that Kimora's representative confirmed at the end of March that they're splitting. Russell has admitted an ongoing affair with gorgeous model Denise Vasi, but stated that he's still friendly with Kimora for the sake of their children and business empire.

They put on a happy face at their annual Art for Life Benefit in Palm Beach this weekend, and Russell's new girlfriend was not seen at the event. Still things were a bit straned for the two:

Open-minded as Russell is about love triangles, he didn't bring his 23-year-old girlfriend, Denise Vasi. Still, there were moments of awkwardness. Like when honoree Denise Rich asked guests, "Don't they look good together?" She added, "[Russell,] you have always taken my advice, but this time you're not!"

"Things between Russell and Kimora seemed strained," according to one guest. "She showed up late and left right after she was finished speaking onstage."

Also at the party was Star Jones without her husband Al Reynolds. Star was said to be feeling her new boobs all night:

"Her breasts must hurt after the surgery," says our spy. "She kept touching them all night."

Here are photos from the benefit, with guests pictured including Gayle King, Star Jones, Sammy Sosa, Venus Williams and Antonio LA Reid.

Star Jones continues to freeload


Star Jones famously got a large portion of her sham wedding ceremony to Al Reynolds comped. Now she doesn't want to pay for stripping-focused exercise lessons, since she's not going to need them anyway:

The large-and-in-charge co-host of "The View" - looking to tighten up after getting a breast lift (with implants) and losing 150 pounds (with gastric bypass surgery) - asked her manager to set up free private lessons at S Factor gym, where owner Sheila Kelley teaches her charges to use a stripper pole. Kelley offered only the first lesson for free, and Jones decided to stick with Equinox. Despite e-mails that show otherwise, a spokesman for Star said it was Kelley who approached her.

Obviously Jones is up to her old tricks and thinks that her dim star power is enough to get her anything she wants. She should just be canned from The View already and become a spokesperson because she doesn't have many career options left.

By all accounts, Jones' return to the View after the health scare she suffered from breast lift surgery was unremarkable. Jones brought some falsies in for her co-hosts, saying she no longer needed them, and admitted that she did have a scare on the operating table. She continued to downplay the threat to her health though and insisted that she was "eating bacon and eggs" the next morning. Jones seemed to get along fine with Joy Behar after their snotty exchange on the phone over the air. The two must have been making a special effort.

Jones was honored by Dress for Success at the Marriot Marquis in NY last night. Dress for Success is a non-profit organization that provides secondhand business attire and interview tips to disadvantaged women. Jones must be considered a wonderful example for women afraid to ask for charity.

Here's Jones in what's probably a borrowed dress at the Dress for Success event last night.

Star Jones-Reynolds with perkier boobs at the Daytime Emmy Nominations Dinner


Star Jones and her surgically improved body attended the Daytime Emmy Nominations Dinner in LA tonight. Star looked foolish in a white tent of a dress that showed off her higher cleavage but covered her fat ass in layers of fabric.

Star seems to be recovering from the health scare she suffered after she lost too much blood and required a transfusion during a breast lift and tummy tuck operation two weeks ago. Star claims that she was not in danger and that the risk to her health was exaggerated, but the NY Daily News unearthed a 911 call from her surgeon's office that suggests her life was at risk.

Star Jones did almost die - she lied

Close up picture of Star and Al looking at a camera with Star's saggy cleavage circled and the caption WTF is wrong with Star's tits?
So The NY Daily News has evidence that Star Jones downplayed the health scare she suffered after her breast lift and tummy tuck two weeks ago. The people at the plastic surgeon's office made an unprecedented call to 911, which suggests that there was something seriously wrong:

"Hi there, this is Dee at the Pacific Surgery Center," a woman's voice is heard alerting the Santa Monica emergency dispatcher. "We have a patient who is on our surgery table, who we cannot stop from bleeding."

Shortly after the frantic 4:56 p.m. call - which was played for Lowdown yesterday by a source who obtained it from the Santa Monica city attorney - an ambulance took Jones from the outpatient surgery center to Saint John's Health Center, a full-service hospital across the street, where she was eventually stabilized.

On Monday's installment of "The View," Jones insisted: "I did not almost die. I'm anemic. ... They gave me the blood, and literally I was fine right afterward."

Jones should have admitted that she was really in danger. Maybe then Joy Behar wouldn't have been so rude and the rest of us would have laid off ripping on her for a day or two. I'm glad she's better, but I still hope she loses her job on The View and has to become a spokesperson for something embarassing.

Star Jones gets a breast lift and a tummy tuck

Close up picture of Star and Al looking at a camera with Star's saggy cleavage circled and the caption WTF is wrong with Star's tits?
We first posted the picture above on March 12th. Star must have seen those unflattering pictures of herself at Shaquille O'Neal's birthday party, because she's publicizing the fact that she just had a breast lift and a tummy tuck:

[In Touch] magazine reports that Star, who turns 44 this week, had the operation at the end of last week, but complications put Star into St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica.

In Touch has learned that in addition to having a breast lift, the View host - who has lost 150 pounds over the past two-and-a half years - also had a tummy tuck to remove excess skin.

Her rep, Brad Zeifman, confirms that Star had the breast lift. "She is recovering wonderfully," he says.

Star probably took advantage of the fact that her talk show The View, where she is widely reported to be on the outs, is playing re-runs this week.

It seems like she is confirming plastic surgery to take the heat off reports that she had gastic bypass surgery to lose so much weight recently.

In related news her husband, Al Jones, cut his head and needed stitches after supposedly falling while working out at the gym. We would be surprised if there were witnesses, considering the type of extracurricular activities he is likely to get up to while Star is away.

Update: Star almost died from plastic surgery complications, and we are sorry for suggesting she went public to take the heat off her gastric bypass surgery. She obviously went pubilc because she was gravely ill and had no other choice. Plastic surgery is not to be taken lightly people.

Star Jones and Vivaca A. Fox: the ugly boob twins

Close up picture of Star and Al looking at a camera with Star's saggy cleavage circled and the caption WTF is wrong with Star's tits?
Shaquille O'Neal had his 34th birthday party in Miami on Friday and guess who was there? Big gay Al and Star Jones! Vivaca A Fox also attended and wore a jacket to cover up her capsized boob. Star Jones seemed not to realize that her boobs are sagging down to her waist and made a very unfortunate dress choice. I'm so sorry to inflict this picture on you.

Star has had so much plastic surgery her face looks like an alien. Maybe she can ask Vivaca for the name of a good surgeon to fix her tits too.

The party looks fabulous and seems to have taken place at Shaq's house, from what we remember of his Cribs episode. Live tigers were there and there was a special pampering room for guests.

Other attendees included Fat Joe, Julio Iglesias Jr., Alonzo Mourning, Terrell Owens, Dwyane Wade, James Posey, Tracy McGrady, Udonis Haslem, and Gary Peyton. (Disclosure: I don't follow basketball and my husband is foreign so I don't know who most of these guys are.)

Here's Vivaca, Star and Al. 18 more pictures of the party are after the jump.
